Battle of Jalons

The Battle of Jalons was a battle of World War I that occurred on 25 August 1915 when the Imperial German Army launched an assault on French Army and British Army trenches in the Champagne region of central France. The Germans bravely stormed the Allied trenches with masses of their troops, but their first attack was repelled. The Germans defended against a French counterattack against their trench, and the Germans then launched a renewed attack on the Allied positions. After heavy fighting, the Germans managed to capture "the Beehive", and they achieved their goal of driving the Allies back. The capture of the trench near Jalons was a minor German victory, although fighting would continue in the same area until 1918.
